When it comes to survival nothing else can take first place over food
production. So intense gardening can be the difference between just having
extra vegetables during the summer to surviving completely on what is grown.
My wife Cyndi has known for the last 14 years of our marriage that my dreams
have always focused around self-sustaining ones self and family. That's why
it was not a big surprise to me when she told me that I could do whatever I
wanted to our new backyard. All she asked was for a small area
of solitude where she can relax and privacy...a Secret Garden.
There's no reason that we have to neglect beauty to create sustainable
food sources. This may be a long journey but I believe it's a journey
worth taking.
